Yang Zhen somewhat misunderstood the meaning of the commander-in-chief. [.Com text] Although they have not been together for a long time, the commander-in-chief has a very detailed understanding of Yang Zhen’s personality. He knows that Yang Zhen is the kind of person who gets into trouble.
He is a person who will never change his decision easily. He wants to speak, not to continue persuading, nor to change Yang Zhen's determination and arrangements.
Since he had promised to be Yang Zhen's logistics minister, the commander-in-chief still kept his word. He also knew that in this battle, which was definitely not small in scale, the arsenal, which was one of the life and death bloodlines of the army, needed a strong one.
A capable person should be in charge. The entire logistics also needs a capable person to arrange and dispatch to ensure the supply of food and ammunition for the troops and the transfer of the wounded. Therefore, the commander-in-chief had no objection to Yang Zhen's arrangement for him to go to the arsenal to take charge.
Moreover, he thinks Yang Zhen's words are not unreasonable. In this battle that is related to the life and death of the army, it is not a good choice for the four top commanders of an army to gather in one place. What he wants to say
It's because when Yang Zhen deployed the defense just now, he didn't assign tasks to himself and the second regiment.
Of course, the commander-in-chief would never think that Yang Zhen was deliberately conserving his strength and avoiding the battle. He could be sure that this guy did not arrange combat missions for himself and the second regiment, which had the strongest combat power among the three regiments. There must be someone who could definitely do it.
It's a bold idea.
Didn't he just say that he has a new plan that he wants to discuss with a few people? Based on the commander-in-chief's understanding of this guy, his new plan will definitely be an earth-shattering plan if it is not implemented.
Sure enough, after the commander-in-chief asked Yang Zhen what he was doing, Yang Zhen smiled and said to several people: "Look, this time just because the Japanese army has not completed the deployment of its troops, the fourth Japanese army stationed in Jiamusi
The division and the third cavalry brigade have almost all been dispatched. The troops from the Seventh Military District of the Puppet Manchu Army stationed in Jiamusi have also been dispatched. In this way, Jiamusi has almost become an empty city."
Speaking of this, Yang Zhen smiled strangely and said: "It's not rude to come and not go back. Since the little devil thinks so highly of me, he almost all the Japanese and puppet troops stationed in Jiamusi were transferred. Then, why don't I go there to cause trouble?"
To attract his attention? So I decided to take the Second Regiment with one battalion of the Third Regiment plus five independent companies, as well as two mountain artillery battalions of the direct artillery to go to Jiamusi for a walk. This is called you fight yours, I will fight
mine."
Seeing that several people were dumbfounded by his unfashionable idea, Yang Zhen just smiled lightly and said: "With all the Japanese troops out, the rear must be empty. Most of the other Japanese troops are in the Manchu-Soviet border counties in Eastern Manchuria. They are closest to Jiamusi.
They are also in the Mudanjiang and Mishan areas. As long as we seize the opportunity and conquer Jiamusi in one go, there won’t be any big problem.”
"As long as we capture Jiamusi, we can mobilize the Japanese army on a large scale and create opportunities for our army to finally break the Japanese encirclement and suppression. I don't believe that the Japanese army can watch its strategic town of Jiamusi being occupied by me and remain indifferent? As long as the Japanese army moves, we will
We can look for fighter planes to severely damage one of them."
"From now on, the main force of the Japanese army's suppression force is still deployed in front of Qunce Mountain. There are many gaps for us to make a detour. So I plan to take advantage of the main force of the Japanese army to attack Qunce Mountain and attack the Jiamusi front line. At least for now.
Judging from the deployment of Japanese troops, there should not be any major problems. Mobilizing enemy troops on the move is the essence of guerrilla warfare."
"But the key to this battle is the blocking of Lao Guo and the political commissar. You have to lead the Japanese army into the hinterland of Qunce Mountain and delay it without causing too many casualties to yourself. So you must pay attention to your tactics.
The application of force is still the old rule, firepower is allocated with heavy weight in the front and light in the back, and troop distribution is light in the front and light in the back."
"The Japanese army is good at outflanking. You must pay more attention to protecting your flanks. The Japanese army's attack tactics are generally to launch attacks from a distance of 600 to 400 meters. They first use probing attacks to lure me to expose the main firepower points and then
Destroyed by its heavy firepower.”
"In particular, the use of grenade launchers poses a great threat to our light and heavy machine guns. The Japanese troops in the pass are fighting head-on with the Japanese army. This is a big loss. You must not fight hard, but pay more attention to the use of the undulations of the terrain and the ridges of the mountains.
Arrange them in a trapezoidal shape. Try to place the Japanese troops within 200 meters or even 100 meters before opening fire."
Aren't there a large number of **-type water-cooled heavy machine guns arranged in the permanent firepower points of the warehouse of Little Devil? Although they are a bit bulky, but the rate of fire is much higher than the Type 92 heavy machine gun? Use them all. While strengthening the firepower, also
Pay attention to the connection between each position and the main position. Field telephones connected to the main position must be arranged in each blocking position. Note that all lines must be buried underground."
"Five days, Lao Guo, political commissar, you must hold on for at least five days under the fierce enemy attack. After five days, if the Japanese offensive has not weakened, you will look for an opportunity to retreat to the Qinghei Mountain headquarters."
"However, you must pay attention to your retreat whether during combat or when breaking through. Although the Japanese army has not yet appeared behind us, I estimate that the Japanese army will definitely send troops to outflank us in order to prevent us from retreating into the mountains and forests.
So you have to be more careful when breaking through. The little devil’s strategy is terrible, but his tactics are still quite good.”
"The Japanese troops have begun to gather one after another, and I don't think they will delay it for too long. If the estimate is correct, with the deployment of their troops completed, the time to take action should be within these three to five days. We should also
Start preparations immediately.”
Regarding Yang Zhen's thoughts, several people looked at each other and said nothing. They just nodded slightly. As for Yang Zhen's risky move, everyone knew that although it was dangerous, it was also a last resort at the moment. Only pure insiders
In combat, other than fighting hard and consuming the limited strength of the troops little by little, there is no advantage.
When necessary, jumping to the outside line and combining internal and external operations is the best choice when the enemy is strong and we are weak. Although there is a certain danger in fighting deep into the heart of the Japanese and puppets, this kind of risk is not
It was a necessary risk to break the Japanese encirclement and suppression campaign.
Yang Zhen's guess was not wrong. Qunce Mountain Base had indeed been exposed, but the reason for the exposure was beyond his imagination. The exposure of Qunce Mountain Base and the sudden increase in firepower of Yang Zhen's unit were only one reason.
The reason that finally led the Japanese army to determine that Yang Zhen's headquarters was hiding here was that during the previous period when Yang Zhen's headquarters was fighting on the outside, they had intensive telegraph contact with the front line of Qunce Mountain, which led to the discovery by a radio listening station of the Japanese army in Jiamusi.
An unknown high-power radio signal with an unknown call sign appeared on the front line of Qunce Mountain.
The Japanese are not fools. On the contrary, they are better at calculating than other established Western powers. This listening station was originally used to monitor Soviet radio signals on the north bank of Heilongjiang. But they did not expect that it was very close to them in Tang.
An unknown signal source was discovered in the mountainous area of the northwest. With the full tracking of the Japanese military listening station and the cooperation of mobilizing aircraft, it was finally determined that the unknown signal source was in the Qunce Mountain area in the northwest of Tangyuan County.
The Kwantung Army headquarters was shocked by this discovery. What was there in Qunce Mountain? The Kwantung Army knew very well. There was the largest secret arsenal in the Sanjiang region of Manchuria. As the builder of the warehouse and the owner of the inventory equipment, for
The Kwantung Army headquarters knows much better than Yang Zhen about the number, types, and uses of the weapons here.
The amount of equipment stored there is enough to maintain all the ammunition for at least three Type-A infantry divisions for a year and all the equipment to form three divisions in a short period of time when supplies in the rear are cut off.
The most critical thing is that there are not only a huge number of weapons, ammunition and a large amount of food and supplies, which almost account for nearly 60% of the spare weapons and ammunition stockpiled by the Kwantung Army in the entire Northern Manchuria area. In order to maintain the army's continuous combat capability,
Thousands of military machines and a large amount of military raw materials were transferred there from the Fengtian Arsenal as reserves.
Not counting the huge amounts of explosives, smokeless gunpowder, and propellants for various artillery shells, the semi-finished products such as 65-type bullets and primers used in the Type 38 rifle alone can produce 10 million rounds of bullets in a short period of time.
level.
There are also a larger number of 7.7mm heavy machine gun bullets and a large number of semi-finished products and spare parts of 75mm mountain artillery shells. As well as already processed rifles and light and heavy machine guns that can be put into use with only partial assembly.
Pipes and other parts.
In addition, it also includes a huge amount of high-quality gun steel used to manufacture rifle machine guns and various communication equipment. There are nearly a hundred high-power radios in stock.
By occupying that place, we not only gained a huge arms warehouse, but more importantly, we gained a huge arms factory that has even reached half the production capacity of the Fengtian Arsenal, the largest arsenal in Asia. Although there is no necessary equipment for producing weapons such as steelmaking,
As long as a stable source of steel is obtained, a large number of weapons and equipment will be produced here in a short period of time.
The semi-finished products and raw materials for military industry there were secretly stockpiled by the Kwantung Army for the war against the Soviet Union. The quantity reported to the Tokyo base camp was only half of the actual stockpiles here. And those military machinery were also secretly stockpiled in the name of scrapping. Losing it there would not only be a loss.
A large stockpile of weapons and a huge arms factory given to the opponent are tantamount to putting a noose around the heads of everyone involved. Once the base camp knows about this, I am afraid that the entire Kwantung Army will not be able to bear the consequences.
Originally, the insiders in the Kwantung Army Headquarters were somewhat lucky. After all, the Qunce Mountain area is vast. Although a secret high-power radio signal appeared there, it did not necessarily mean that there was a problem with the secret warehouse. It was just that the Kwantung Army Headquarters had not yet waited for the information.
The order for the Qunce Mountain garrison to strengthen its alert was sent out, and the telegram sent from Sasaki to Kaichi immediately made everyone at the Kwantung Army headquarters feel as if cold water had been poured over their heads.
After arriving at Sasaki, the rebels have extremely strong firepower. They are now equipped with a large number of Imperial standard mortars and artillery. The number of light and heavy machine guns is even more astonishing. The number of their equipment has even exceeded that of the elite divisions of the Kwantung Army. And all of them are Imperial Army standard.
Taisho 11th year, Type 96 light machine gun, and Type 92 heavy machine gun.
Where did the large amount of weapons and equipment needed by the rebels come from? After sending a telegram hoping that the Kwantung Army Headquarters could conduct a detailed inspection of various secret military warehouses under its subordinates, the Kwantung Army Headquarters combined the secret high-power radio signals previously discovered at the front line of Qunce Mountain,
Immediately, I was keenly convinced that something happened to the secret warehouse in Qunce Mountain this time.
The Kwantung Army headquarters knew very well that the reason why the gangsters suddenly increased their firepower without discovering any contact between their opponents and the Soviets was that they had captured the secret warehouse in Qunce Mountain. Because in the entire North Manchuria area, apart from the large number of reserves,
It is better to have a secret warehouse in the Hyrule region. Only here can such a large amount of equipment be provided. This also explains why the opponent has a huge amount of Imperial Army standard equipment in his hands.
In fact, Yang Zhen didn't know that the Kwantung Army Headquarters knew about Sasaki's accident much earlier than he expected. Otherwise, the Fourth Division's reinforcements would not have been so fast, and its follow-up actions would not have been so fast.
So powerful.
After confirming that something had happened to the secret arms warehouse at Qunce Mountain, General Kenkichi Ueda, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, immediately gave an order to Sasaki, asking him to concentrate all the attack troops and immediately change direction and attack the front line of Qunce Mountain with all his strength.
No matter how much the price is paid, the secret warehouse in Qunce Mountain must be recaptured in the shortest possible time.
If after issuing the order several times but receiving no response, Ueda Kenkichi had not yet discovered that something had happened to Sasaki. Then when the Taiping River line received a report from the tribe of the Taiping River Group transferred from the Fourth Division,
After the report of intensive gunfire, and comparing it with the previous news that he had lost all contact with Sasaki Ruichi, he immediately realized that something might have happened to this guy Sasaki Ruichi.
Although Ueda Kenkichi lost contact with Sasaki and felt that something was wrong, he was a veteran Japanese general after all, and his reaction speed was definitely top-notch. He immediately mobilized the Fourth Division stationed in Jiamusi without any hesitation.
Each regiment of infantry and cavalry quickly reinforced Sasaki's headquarters who had entered the mountains to clear out the troops, and immediately found out the whereabouts of Sasaki at all costs.
Ueda Kenkichi, who was already losing his mind, did not even wait until dawn, and ordered the Fourth Division to assemble troops overnight. He also ordered the commander of the Fourth Division, Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru, to personally command the troops to reinforce Sasaki Yuichi. After dawn the next day,
We must set off immediately. Ueda Kenkichi's order is extremely tough. As for whether the Fourth Division can complete the mobilization within the time specified by him, it has nothing to do with him.
When the next day, Ueda Kenkichi, who was almost looking forward to death, received a telegram from Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru Sasaki that the mutilated body of a shell-exploded body had been found, he was completely dumbfounded. A current Lieutenant General was there.
He was killed in battle, which was not only the first among the Kwantung Army to suppress the anti-Manchurian anti-Japanese armed forces in Manchuria, but also the first of its kind among the Japanese army.
The news of Lieutenant General Sasaki's death came. Although it had not yet been reported to the Tokyo Base Camp, the Tokyo Base Camp had not yet made a final decision. But Ueda Kenkichi clearly knew that this time his position as the commander of the Kwantung Army was real.
Done to the end.
Since the eyeball-like incident of the Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department in the Tokyo base camp last year until now, not only have I been unable to completely annihilate this group of rebels and recover the lost top-secret information, but I have organized and suppressed them repeatedly, without making any progress, and I have also suffered heavy losses.
The general-level officers alone lost one lieutenant general and one major general. As for the junior-level officers, the number may be even greater. The continuous incidents were enough to make the Tokyo headquarters and even the emperor furious.
Not only was the Japanese army the first lieutenant general to be killed on the battlefield since the establishment of the new army. There was also the previous incident of the Ministry of Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply. The loss of a secret warehouse, as well as the unknown number of military machinery and excess reserves in the warehouse.
The equipment is enough for Ueda Kenkichi to carry around without food.
The excess reserves of equipment in the secret munitions warehouse in Qunce Mountain were precisely after he took office. At that time, Major Masanobu Hanatani, the director of the Kwantung Army's Third Section, and Masanobu, the instructor of the Kwantung Army Depot Section, were two fanatical northern marchers.
, with desperate instigation, carried out secretly behind the backs of the two chiefs of staff of the Kwantung Army, Tojo Hideki and Isotani Rensuke, and behind the backs of the Tokyo base camp.
Ueda Kenkichi knows how much impact this secret will have on him once it is leaked. As for Masanobu, he was just a member of the military depot class before, and now he is just the chief combat staff officer. This plan cannot hit him no matter what.
I am afraid that I have to settle old and new debts together.
In order to cover up the secret of the secret warehouse at Kunze Mountain, Ueda Kenkichi did not even go through Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara, commander of the Fifth Army, who had just established the direct superior of the Fourth Division, but directly sent it to the commander of the Fourth Division, Sawada Shigenaka.
General Ueda Kenkichi's move broke another record of the Japanese army. The front army commander bypassed the corps commander and directly commanded the division commander. This was the first time in the Japanese army.
In any case, although Ueda Kenji’s movements are slow,
